Two years ago, I moved to Europe from San Francisco. At that time, I decided that blogging would be an efficient way to catalogue my travels and experiences while also keeping family and friends updated. Sadly, the stress of an overseas move, time dedicated to a new job, and shift of my cultural reality consumed much of my actual desire to write regularly as well as my overall time to do so.

Fast forward to now and the mighty realization that…
There will always be stress: It may not be an international move, but even moving across town a couple months ago presented its own logistical challenges. It is more the notion of managing the stress effectively.
There will always be work: If I were independently wealthy, I might have more time.
There will always be a reality shift. It may not be moving to another country of which I know nothing about, but it may very likely be a life-altering experience that causes me to consciously reflect and re-evaluate aspects of my life.
